Can Pellevé in NYC be performed before or after dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are among the most popular cosmetic treatments available today. They are capable of replacing lost volume, plumping thin lips, and improving overall facial contours. However, volume loss is only part of the problem that leads to sagging, wrinkled skin. With time and sun exposure, skin loses much of its elasticity, meaning that it becomes looser. The modern nonsurgical solution to sagging skin is tightening procedures such as Pellevé.

How Pellevé works

Pellevé is a nonsurgical therapy that utilizes controlled radiofrequency energy to firm and tighten skin. As the radiofrequency waves penetrate the tissue, they encounter increased resistance at the subdermal junction. This causes heat to accumulate at the optimal level, where it stimulates the contraction and remodeling of the natural collagen network.

Pellevé and other procedures

Because this gentle treatment does not cause injury or scarring, it should not affect any procedures you wish to have after Pellevé. Similarly, there is no need to worry about dermal fillers that have been placed before Pellevé treatment. Because the radiofrequency energy is targeted to the skin, it does not generally reach deep enough to heat dermal fillers, or implanted medical or dental devices. Additionally, even if the filler were heated it should not be affected. Although formulas vary, fillers are typically made with naturally occurring substances such as hyaluronic acid or calcium, rather than meltable synthetics.

Pellevé is a wonderful adjunct to other aesthetic enhancement procedures. Each product or technique accomplishes a different goal. For example, skin-tightening treatments reduce laxity, fillers replace volume, neuromodulators relax muscles, and resurfacing improves texture and pigmentation. These are all separate, and common, effects of aging. The most natural, youthful, attractive results are achieved by evaluating each patient individually and customizing a treatment plan to address all aspects of that person's concerns.
